Save time and effort with a free tool to automate app updates

Grab this free utility for your Windows PC

Avira Software Updater is a free utility for Windows PCs that checks the software on your PC and tells you if there are newer versions. It even updates apps for you. Sounds great, but is it?

The idea is sound and out of date applications on your PC might contain bugs or even security flaws, so on the surface it makes sense to check whether there are any new versions of the apps you use and to update them to the latest.

If you have a lot of software on the system then manually going through all of the programs, finding out who the developer is, then discovering where the website is on the internet, then looking for an updated version, takes a lot of time and effort.

If you do find updates, then you must spend time and effort downloading and installing them.

It is too much hassle and most people, even if they know they should regularly be doing this, don’t bother, which is why this free app from Avira makes a lot of sense. The idea is that you run the utility and it tells you which apps can be updated.
